WhatsApp for Web, the service that was launched last year in January, has finally received the option to send and receive documents. The move comes a couple of days after the company launched its dedicated app for desktop platforms.

Just few months ago, Facebook-owned WhatsApp added the document-sharing feature to its mobile app. The feature supported a limited number of document formats.

With the new document sharing feature in WhatsApp for Web, the company now lets users send word files, PDFs and more formats. The option can be seen as a part of the attachment icon on the top right corner of the chat window. Other options that show in the drop down attachment menu include photos and videos, and camera shots.

To use the feature, both the Android and iOS WhatsApp apps are needed to be updated to the latest version.

Earlier this week, WhatsApp introduced its desktop app that mirrors conversations and messages from the connected mobile device. The app can be downloaded for Windows 8 and Mac OS X (10.9) or later OS versions. “Just like WhatsApp Web, the new desktop app lets you message with friends and family while your phone stays in your pocket,” said the company in its blog post.

With more features rolling out to WhatsApp for Web, the users might not download the desktop app. We are yet to see how the Facebook-owned company aims to bring more traction for its desktop app.

The company last month also rolled out end-to-end encryption feature to chats.

Separately, RCom initiated contempt proceedings in the apex court against the Department of Telecommunications, blaming it for delaying a spectrum sale that would have enabled dues to be paid to Ericsson and lenders.
